Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the loose motions might be due to stomach infection.
Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day and electrolyte powder.
Also lactobacillus tablets might be helpful.
If not subsiding stool can be subjected to culture and sensitivity.
The presence of any infection and causative organism can be ruled out.
If any infection is present then a course of antibiotics is needed.
So discuss regarding that with your doctor.
Nothing to worry.
But taking adequate fluids to combat dehydration is important.
Relax.It will subside.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
